Find the volume of a cylinder that has a radius of 11 m and a height of 9 m.

Pea flowers may be purple (P) or white (p). Pea seeds may be round (R) or wrinkled (r). What proportion of the offspring from th

Rudiy27

Answer:

The proportion of the offspring from the cross PpRr × PpRr that are expected to have white flowers and wrinkled seeds is 1/16 or 6.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The uppercase letter represents the dominant allele, while the lowercase represents the recessive allele. The dominant allele determines the phenotype (observable trait) when it is present.

When you cross heterozygous individuals for each trait, each individual of the offspring has the probability of 1/6 of each combination of four alleles (two for each trait). Because the dominant allele determines the phenotype when it is present, the probability of dominant phenotypes is higher than recessive phenotypes.

Proportions of each phenotype in the offspring from the cross PpRr × PpRr are:

Purple flowers with round seeds: 9/16

Purple flowers with wrinkled seeds: 3/16

White flowers with round seeds: 3/16

White flowers with wrinkled seeds: 1/16

The proportion of individuals with white flowers and wrinkled seeds is the lowest because they are homozygous recessive for both traits.

The size of a cell is typically found by capturing an image under a microscope then using software to measure its diameter. Two

Answer:

7.789×10^-2 = 0.07789 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can find the difference of the two given diameters and express it in any format you like.

The attached image of a calculator display shows the difference of the cell diameters is 0.07789 = 7.789×10^-2 cm.

__

The difference of two numbers with different exponents is found by first adjusting the exponents so they are the same. Here, we choose to adjust both numbers so they have the highest exponent value.

8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3

= 8.39×10^-2 - 0.601×10^-2 = (8.39 -0.601)×10^-2 = 7.789×10^-2

Alternatively, you can convert both numbers to standard form and do the subtraction that way.

8.83×10^-2 - 6.01×10^-3

= 0.0883 -0.00601 = 0.07789

The second attachment shows the relationship between place values and their multiplier in scientific notation.

The choice of exponent when computing the sum or difference of numbers in scientific notation is usefully informed by an estimate of the value of the sum or difference. A proper choice can avoid the need to adjust the exponent of the result of the operation. Here, we see the subtraction will change the larger value by less than 10%, so the exponent of the result in scientific notation will be that of the larger value (-2).
